Bleeding and back pain after cervix check

So i’m 37w1d today, and I got an elective cervical check. last week i was 0cm but today when she checked i was 2cm and also bled and still am slightly. ever since i’ve had back cramps and it’s harder to walk, is this normal? should i expect to go into labor soon?

Cramping and light bleeding/spotting is normal after a cervical check!

It’s normal and you could go into labor but it’s never a direct indication. Did your Dr perform the check? I just never understand why it’s so intense that it causes us so much pain and agony afterwards

I had blood tinged tp for nearly a week after a cervical check. I was in the ER cause I fell and apparently they had to do cervical check.

@Niya yes my OB did it, she was actually shocked i had dilated so quick and my cervix softened within a week but i guess everyone’s different lol

I just had a check done 3.5 hours ago and it was a lot more uncomfortable than last time (also didn’t bleed last time) I was bleeding quite a bit right after and I’m still bleeding. I don’t think bleeding is an indication of labor starting though. Just a normal part of cervical checks.
